Wha...?
"He walked a little sideways, crablike. This, the result of being jammed in a door during an earthquake, ..."
What? It's not supposed to be funny! This is a serious book (by the way, I've moved on to Agatha Christie's Towards Zero). But, I laugh aloud, nonetheless (Ha! That is all one word, Ian-who-doesn't-believe-me).
So, as I start this new book, I've found myself picturing everyone in the story as someone I know. Maybe cuz they all seem to have names that I already relate to someone else. Regardless of why, it's pretty hysterical (in my head...) to picture theses people in top hats, suits, with canes and British accents, gathering around fireplaces saying things like "chap".
If it were a movie, this credits would run something like this...
Mr. Treves .......................... Trev, with powder in his hair cuz his character is 80 years old
Rufus Lord, K.C. ................. KC, obviously, but still with his long hair
Young Lewis ....................... Lewis, complete with his little emo glasses
Andrew MacWhirter ......... Little Mousey Andrew
Superintendent Battle ...... Mr. Madden, because for one second I thought he was the superintendent, but then it was too late and it stuck
Nevile Strange .................. Jessica Neville, with a mustache drawn on her face
Audrey ............................... Audrey Ricketts
Lady Tressilian ................. Grandma Sparks, I don't know why. I just thought of her.
Thomas Royde .................. Thomas Hoffman
Allen Drake ....................... Drake, from the Sierra Jensen books. Yes, I know he's not real.
Ted Latimer ...................... Diana's brother, Marcus, because they are Latvian.
